Using the Out of Office Assistant

The Out of Office Assistant is a feature that is accessible through Exchange or Outlook Web Access only. This feature allows you to notify anyone sending you e-mail that you are out of the office.

When someone sends you an e-mail, the Out of Office Assistant automatically responds to the e-mail with a message indicating that you are away from the office. The notice can display any text that you choose to send; including the dates and times you are out of the office and any additional information, such as who to report to with questions.

Note: An Out of Office message is sent only once to each person that sends you a message.
